Experience Athens
The Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, located about twenty-two miles from downtown Athens, serves the Athens area.

If you’re staying in the center of Athens, you’ll be within a quick Metro ride or a short walk of most of the major attractions. The most popular site for visitors is the Acropolis, which sits atop a hill surrounded by other ruins. Other great sites to visit include the Museum of Cycladic Art and the National Archaeological Museum. If you’re visiting in the summer, prepare for days that reach 90°F on a regular basis. Winter days average 50°F, which is a comfortable temperature for climbing Athens’ many hills.
